Serious Moonlight Tour in 1983 when Bowie reached the pinnacle as a pop star. It seems to be the peak of popularity, and it is also a time when it is blessed with both images and sound sources, including the official Vancouver, but the tour itself has a famous trouble that the guitarist will change just before the start, and there is a big problem with the ring. Due to the stage composition, it took some time to fully open the engine.
However, the Edinburgh performance on June 28th, which will be released this time, is so full-throttle that it is easy to understand just by listening to the opening “Star”. Bowie is in great shape, of course, the performance of the band that supports him is also sharp.
That should be it, not only that this next show was the return of Hammersmith Odeon for the first time in 10 years, but above all, just before Milton Keynes, which was the biggest in the UK itinerary of the Serious Moonlight Tour If he had refrained from doing so, it would make sense for him to perform well here.

The sound quality of the audience recording that captured such a high tension performance is also superb. Although it is a large venue called an outdoor stadium, it is a powerful sound image that can not be compared to a “sound board”. Not only is the sound close, but the balance of the performance is also exquisite.
Furthermore, the bass sound, which is easily sacrificed in the audience recording at a vast outdoor venue, is captured with a powerful sound image. It’s hard to find an audience recording in 1983 where Carmine Rojas’ Buri Buri bass line was captured so clearly. After all, this tour had many large outdoor venues.
“Why is a CD-R a sound source that boasts such exceptional quality?” When asked, it is nothing more than that it was just before Milton Keynes, a rare masterpiece recording in the British journey.

Although this timing is nothing but regrettable, the tremendously high sound quality and high-voltage performance is a wonderful thing that not only enthusiasts but also beginners can proudly recommend.
And it’s really fun that “Sorrow”, which generally tends to be regarded as just one of Bowie’s favorite cover songs, is a big chorus here. Certainly, it was a hit song released by the British one-hit-wonder band Merseys (excuse me), so it’s only natural that it would be this popular in my home country.
In this way, the first appearance from the Serious Moonlight Tour & Ultra Audience conveys not only the powerful sound quality and performance, but also the fun presence that is unique to audience recording. For the above reasons, this time it will be a CD-R release of the gut, but the performance content and recording quality are top-notch.
